Chitosan

Chitosan is a polysaccharide compound derived from crustaceans (such as shrimp and crab shells). Converted from chitin through deacetylation, chitosan exhibits a unique molecular structure and physicochemical properties. Its positively charged amino group structure is capable of enveloping lipid molecules present in food.

Compared to ingredients that stimulates metabolic activity or interfere with neurological signaling, chitosan functions directly within the digestive tract. With its positively charged molecular structure, chitosan binds with certain lipids to form a complex, thereby influencing lipid absorption.

Sourced from the shells of shrimp from the clean waters of the Northern Atlantic Ocean.
